Radmin VPN for Windows

Radmin VPN 2.0.4899.9 is a free Windows program from Famatech Corp that links computers over the internet as if they were on the same local network. Gamers use it to play LAN-only titles with friends, and small teams use it to reach shared folders or remote desktops. You can download Radmin VPN for Windows from radmin-vpn.com.

Is Radmin VPN a privacy VPN?

No, and this is the most common misunderstanding. Commercial VPN services route all your internet traffic through their servers to hide your address or change your location. Radmin VPN does something else: it builds a private virtual network between the computers you choose. Your normal browsing still goes through your own internet connection. Think of it as a long network cable between PCs, not as an anonymity tool.

What is it used for?

The classic use is multiplayer games that only support LAN play or direct IP connections. Every player installs Radmin VPN, joins the same network and the game sees the others as if they were in the same room. Beyond games, it helps people who need to connect to a home PC from a laptop elsewhere, to share a folder with a colleague without cloud storage, or to reach a small office server without configuring a router. Because each computer gets an address in the virtual network, programs that work over a local network, such as remote desktop tools or file sharing, work across the internet too. The more stable your internet connections are, the better the experience; the software cannot fix a poor upload speed on one side.

How do I set it up?

1. Download the installer from the official website and install it; Windows will ask to add a virtual network adapter.
2. One person creates a network with a name and password.
3. Everyone else chooses to join an existing network and enters the same name and password.
4. Start the game or program and connect using the addresses shown in Radmin VPN.

Setup questions are answered on the Radmin VPN help page.

Is it free and how big is it?

Yes, Radmin VPN is free. The installer is about 46.39 MB according to catalogue data.

Is it safe to use?

Everyone in a virtual network can reach your computer much like a device on your home network. Join networks only with people you trust, use a strong network password and keep the Windows firewall on. Turn off file sharing for folders you do not want others to see. Public networks listed for games are open to strangers, so be careful there.

The closest alternative in our listings is Hamachi, another virtual LAN tool. If you actually need a privacy VPN, look at Proton VPN, Mullvad VPN or Windscribe VPN; for your own VPN server, OpenVPN Connect is the client.
